Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 455 443. The Road to the Future
When Artanis led his fleet back to the territory of the Kalai Empire, they immediately received news from Aiur. The Ancient Sage wanted to meet the young executive privately.

After Artanis heard this, he was filled with excitement and unspeakable excitement, and immediately came to Ayr without stopping. However, what made him a little surprised and a little bit disappointed was that he did not receive any advice from his teacher. It was as huge a welcome ceremony as the return.

He went down at the military port and only saw an honor guard welcoming him. It was obvious that this expedition did not have such a huge welcome ceremony. Artanis was even sure that this expedition had not even been officially notified. The people Had no idea such an expedition was taking place.

The executive thought this in his heart, but he could understand it.At present, the empire of peace that still maintains a strange kind of peace with the human empire on the border has successfully established a separation line thousands of light years long on their own planet.They forcibly took away everyone there, even organic matter, building materials, and recyclable ores were taken away, leaving nothing behind, leaving only the bare surface of the planet.Hundreds of planets have been turned into isolation zones in this way, and hundreds of billions of people have fled their homes.

However, this does not mean that the empire has given up everything outside the isolation zone established by the empire.Some planets connected to the nodes of the subspace routes have not been abandoned. The Empire still has a large number of planets on the border that are inhabited, including agricultural planets and forging worlds.

The empire had no reason to give up these valuable properties. However, in order to protect those more important facilities, they built a large number of fortress worlds there to prevent Kalai's attack.

The current situation between the two sides is to guard each other's defense line, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.In fact, neither the Damocles Gulf Front nor Kalai were sure that they could completely eliminate each other.In other words, Gray was not sure that he could completely wipe out an imperial expeditionary force, and later he actually had an open fight with the empire.

First of all, he can't do it. Secondly, Gray has his own plan for the future. That plan will be related to Karai's fate, and even the fate of the entire galaxy. Of course, it also includes his own orders, so he can't destroy it no matter what. Such actions.

And if there is a huge publicity after this expedition, then humans may not have discovered this matter originally. As a result, such publicity may very well lead those people to make some very inappropriate decisions.

So this is a special military operation, a covert special military operation, not a high-profile war.

Welcomed by the military band, and before the eyes of Artanis, there appeared a robed man who was obviously, according to his costume, a divine messenger, an advisor to the elders.

The former sage was asked by Gray to come out and take over, and he was happy to do such a job. From his current master, he knew very well that what he was about to welcome this time was a group of STC and STC from the oldest era. There are a lot of technologies, both from the ancient golden age of mankind and from the ancient golden age of Kalai.

There is no doubt that for a former Mechanicus personnel, it is an exciting thing to be able to come into contact with the most precious heritage of these all-machine people, and he is also happy to decode the knowledge inside these precious machines.

Salva looked at Artanis in front of him and said a brief sentence, but it was enough to make Artanis feel happy and joyful.

"The elder will meet you in the temple. He is satisfied with your action and your contribution to the entire empire."

For an executive officer and the eldest son of a god, being recognized and praised by the elders is better than endless honor and wealth.

Under the leadership of Salva, Artanis arrived under the Great Temple through teleportation.Salva just grabbed the hand of the executive in front of him, and then with a flash of white light, the two disappeared and appeared in front of Gray.

Artanis blinked his eyes and looked around cautiously.The elder was sitting in front of him, wearing a traditional costume, and slowly poured a pot of tea into the cup in front of him.The executive officer looked at Gray in front of him, who was pouring it. After two cups of tea, he placed a cup of tea in front of Atanis and said calmly.

"Thank you, Executive Officer, I hope you can taste this cup of tea."

Artanis raised the glass of water soaked with the shriveled leaves of the plant to his face.When these water droplets touched his skin, they were immediately absorbed, and the sense of taste was transmitted to his brain by the psychic cells.

When Artanis drank such a cup of tea, the first thing he felt was bitterness. The bitterness was unforgettable and unforgettable for a long time.It is a kind of bitterness that comes from the depths of the soul, but after this bitterness, it is as sweet as jasmine.Gray slowly took a sip of his tea, looked at Artanis who had some wrinkled eyes in front of him, and said with an apologetic smile.

"This cup of tea may be a little bitter, because now I can't taste the taste of food. I can only inject some psychic energy into it to let me taste the taste I tasted in the past."

After Artanis heard this, he quickly shook his head, and then took another sip of the bitter tea, but this time it seemed a little better, but the sweetness after the bitterness seemed to become weaker.

Gray looked at the tall executive in front of him and asked calmly

"Artanis, let me ask you a question, what do you think of the current state of our empire?"

After hearing what the other party said, Artanis thought about it carefully and replied

"If compared with other political systems in the galaxy, our political system is undoubtedly the most clean and efficient. In this galaxy, our system has no problems."

“So, is there room for reform?”

After hearing the elder's words, Artanis trembled and thought carefully about why the other party asked him such a question, and Gray quickly answered the question in his heart.The elder stretched out his hand, and a map was pushed out from behind. This map was the latest version of the entire empire.

In the territory of Kalai's empire, Gray specifically drew more than 100 planets outside the Gulf of Damocles that had been conquered over hundreds of years.Artanis looked at Gray's map and thought of what he said before, and immediately understood what the elder wanted to do.

During the initial conquest, a large number of governors still held power on most planets, especially those recovered by the Human Empire.In the past, these powerful governors were an effort to gain power quickly.

But now, these people have become the biggest factor of instability. The governors and mercenaries of some planets are self-respecting and even unwilling to hand over some taxes again. There are a lot of tariffs and resources cannot be effectively exploited. Their people Still living the same miserable life compared to the empire period, this is what the kind elders do not want to find, and it is also an obstacle for the entire empire to move forward.

It was obvious that Gray was going to take action.

The elder looked at the nearly finished tea and asked one last question.

"Artanis, now, do you think our empire still needs reform?"

Looking at Gray who was pouring tea on the tea pet made of pottery in front of him, Artanis knew exactly what answer he should give.

"It's time for reform, elder."
